Filter by:This research focuses on adding diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy sessions, particularly for patients suffering from chronic neck pain aged between 20-40 years in Jordan. Chronic neck pain is recognized as one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pain disorders, significantly impacting physical, social, and psychological aspects of life. This issue leads to a decline in functional performance and work productivity, negatively affecting both individual and societal levels. Several factors, such as poor posture and prolonged use of smartphones, contribute to the exacerbation of non-specific chronic neck pain. These problems also affect respiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm responsible for primary respiration, resulting in a shift from abdominal to chest breathing. This alteration increases the use of neck muscles, subsequently intensifying neck pain and negatively impacting sleep quality in these individuals. The primary objective of this therapeutic study is to investigate the role of adding diaphragmatic breathing to physiotherapy sessions in alleviating pain and improving sleep quality. RCT study will investigate the effect of adding the diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy treatment on pain and sleep quality over one month.
This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of combined exercise training, that is, functional inspiratory muscle training, with breathing exercises to be applied with a portable, easy-to-use respiratory muscle strengthening device, on exercise capacity and peripheral muscle strength.
Inhalation injury is a composite of multiple insults including: supra glottic thermal injury, subglottic airway and alveolar poisoning, and systemic poisoning from absorbed small molecule toxins. These contaminant insults independently affect each of the pulmonary functions as well as having a direct effect on systemic physiology. Further, anatomic characteristics can predispose patients to inhalation injury. For example, an infant will develop airway obstructions much faster than an adult due to reduced airway diameter. Understanding the contributions of each of these pathologies to the patient's disease is critical to managing inhalation injury. Wii fit aerobic training gives similar results with traditional rehabilitation practices, it causes less energy costs. This suggests that it can be a suitable rehabilitation tool for adult and elderly people with low energy levels. A review showed that video games are safe and feasible in the children with lung complications. Children' balance, aerobic and cognitive functions, quality of life improved and depressive mood decreased. WII aerobic games also make children to communicate better with other family members.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a Breathing Rate and Pulse Rate accuracy validation comparing the NuraLogix AMC-SDK to the Reference devices, an FDA cleared End Tidal Carbon Dioxide monitor (GE Datex-Ohmeda) and a standard ECG (GE Datex-Ohmeda) derived heart rate reference. This will be done by manually scoring the collected waveform for data analysis.
Sedatives and analgesics are usually given for analgesic, anxiolytic, or sedating purposes for patients with critical illness, while they inevitably inhibit respiratory and circulatory function. Sometimes, patients receive deep sedation to induce hypoventilation or suppress spontaneous respiratory effort. The sedation level in clinical practice is usually assessed with subjective sedation scoring systems, such as the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS). However, studies have found that sedation depth based on RASS is not a reliable marker of respiratory drive during critical illness. In recent years, researchers have proposed to monitor the effects of sedatives and analgesics on respiratory indicators and to implement lung-protective sedation, such as P0.1, Pocc, Pmus, WOB, and PTP. However, different pharmacological characteristics, different depths of sedation, and different sedation regimens among different sedatives and analgesics make a great difference in their effects on respiration. Ciprofol is an analog of propofol, with increased stereoselective effects adding to its anesthetic properties, is increasingly used in the intensive care unit, but its effects on respiration are not well understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of ciprofol on respiratory patterns, respiratory drive, and inspiratory effort in mechanically ventilated patients.
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of different diluent volumes for the same dosage of colistin in mechanically ventilated respiratory patients receiving colistin inhalation therapy. The study aims to determine whether the diluent volume has an effect on clinical outcomes, including ICU length of stay, total hospitalization duration, duration of respiratory support within 28 days, mortality rates within 28 days and 90 days, as well as analyze the pharmacokinetic profile of colistin in blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Additionally, the study will evaluate the incidence of nebulizer malfunctions and blockages. The findings of this research will help identify the optimal diluent volume for colistin inhalation therapy in clinical practice.
This study aims to compare the effects of postural exercises with and without breathing exercises in the subjects having forward head posture.
The aim of this clinical research study was to determine the effect of the use of a cartoon character mask on treatment compliance and parental satisfaction and to evaluate the effectiveness of the cartoon character mask in children receiving inhaled therapy for the treatment of respiratory system diseases in children. The hypotheses it aims to answer are as follows: H1: Inhalers given using a mask with a cartoon character facilitate treatment compliance. H2: The inhaler given using a mask with a cartoon character makes treatment compliance difficult. H3: Inhaler treatment using a mask with a cartoon hero increases parental satisfaction. H4: Inhaler treatment using a mask with a cartoon hero decreases parental satisfaction. H5: Inhaler treatment using a mask with a cartoon hero has a positive effect on the hospitalization process. H6: Inhaler treatment using a mask with a cartoon hero has a positive effect on the recovery process. H7: Compared to routine inhaler mask use, the use of masks with cartoon heroes provides a positive relationship between treatment adherence and parental satisfaction. In the study, according to randomization, the intervention group will receive inhalers with masks, and the other group will receive inhalers routinely used in the clinic. The treatment of the children was planned by the physician, and no additional treatment was given for the study. Children's adherence to treatment and parents; satisfaction will be evaluated. The effectiveness of the masked inhaler used will be asked.
This single arm clinical trial will assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy in the management of moderate-to-severe sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) among para-athletes living with cervical/thoracic, complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) is effective in improving cognitive impairment, in reducing fatigue, depression, anxiety, and overall quality of life. Further, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of CPAP therapy in improving their performance in sports and the perceived risk of injuries.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions among athletes and sports enthusiasts who engage in overhead sports, and it can be highly disabling. Since the shoulder is one of the joints with the greatest range of motion in the human body, it is important to seek strategies that address trunk stability comprehensively to achieve full and effective joint mobility. The central role of the diaphragm in trunk stabilization has been the subject of research for over 50 years, although the exact mechanisms are still not fully understood. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of inspiratory muscle training on diaphragm thickness, inspiratory muscle strength, and shoulder pain in adult tennis players with non-specific shoulder pain. This is a single-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. The intervention will last for 8 weeks. Patients with non-specific shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will undergo specific inspiratory muscle training, while the control group will receive no specific training intervention. Measurements of diaphragm thickness, inspiratory muscle strength, and shoulder pain will be taken before and after the intervention.
